I'm doing an experiment. Put a single layer of kombucha scoby into green tea and honey. Going to leave it for a few weeks, til it tells me it's good. Then, remove that scoby and wait until the jun forms it's own scoby. I expect to add sweetened tea at one or two intervals. I may eventually buy a jun scoby online. but wanted to make the distinction between the flavors and tastes of a jun beverage made from a kombucha started brew and a true jun brew. ALL brews taste varies anyway. If you have any tips or suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them.
Janice B I made my first Jun w/ a Kombucha SCOBY. I didn’t go through the steps that you did. My Jun tasted like Kombucha. Jun is similar anyway, but much milder and you can distinctly taste the honey. For your experiment, I would not use sugar at all, only honey. Keep me posted.
Do you use both scobies in your next batch until the baby gets thicker? Also, I thought the baby was supposed to attached to the mother and you’d have to separate them later.
mstinaswu One SCOBY is enough no matter the thickness, but you can put as many in as you wish to feed them. It will not speed up the process. Usually the baby will be attached to the mother, but not always. If the SCOBY does not rise to the top, the baby will still form on the top. 😉
It's me again, 😁. I saw a video with a gentleman drinking Jun with chaga mushroom. It was premade, so I'm not sure exactly how it was made, so my question is, do you do a second ferment and then put the chaga mushroom in it?
Angel Smith Yes. Any flavors would be added during second fermentation. I don’t think I would like that flavor. I do put medicinal mushroom powder in my coffee. It masks the bitter flavor.
DT Wellness ah!! I forget about NC, LOL! My accent is VERY thick. I’m actually from Oklahoma but my dad is from Arkansas and has a super thick accent (which I ended up with). I’ve lived in SC for 3 years, though, and it has just made my already existing accent a million times worse, LOL! 😂 I always enjoy seeing videos from other southerners. ❤️
From Chronic To Cure I honestly don’t remember the exact site. Just that I got it from Etsy. This is a link for Jun SCOBYs www.etsy.com/listing/286857419/honey-jun-scoby-live-organic-mother
DAVID UFC This is the normal process. The SCOBY is a concentration of the bacteria and yeast living in the liquid. It builds a biofilm around itself and that’s what you see. The older the SCOBY gets, the thicker it will get. Each brew starts this process over. You are the proud father of a baby SCOBY. Congratulations!
You have great content on your channel! Are you now on another platform? I am making your cocunut pouding today and just finished my first batch kombutcha tea :D
Thank you, I appreciate your kind words. I have a website that has some of my recipes posted, dtwellness.org and an Instagram, dtwellness. So glad you enjoy the content. I welcome any questions you may have. 😁
@@DTWellness yes I was just on your dt wellness site, great, want to try almost all recipes thankyou! Going to add you to instagram I just dont have the same name over there lol. Have a blessed day.
Derek Vela If using raw honey, you will destroy the health & life of it if you add it to boiling water. Honey bees gather nutritionally dense nectars adding to them important enzymes, and probiotics. In the end we have a life sustaining source of energy. With many different sugars, amino acids, vitamins, minerals etc.
DT Wellness oh ok, thanks for that info, wouldn't of known that, thank you so much for the reply. I will keep that in mind when im ready to brew some Jun!
Erika Witha'K' Raw honey is unprocessed and has life. If you want your Jun to be as natural & healthy as possible, you should use raw honey. But to answer your question - no it doesn’t have to be raw.
If it is a kombucha SCOBY hotel, you should be using tea sweetened with sugar, organic if possible . If it is a Jun hotel, honey sweetened tea is the food of choice. If you poured straight honey on your SCOBY’s, I would rinse them off in either case and start over. 😉
@@DTWellness it was the honey green tea mixture (for a gallon of jun tea)and it got poured into the jun scoby hotel which already had sweet honey green tea with 4 scobies. :(
DAVID UFC If you use sugar it will be Kombucha. If you use honey, it’s Jun. the SCOBYs are slightly different. You can get both SCOBYs from Amazon and yes it does make a difference. 😉
Love Jun but not Kombucha made with black tea and sugar. Jun is much more mild and you can taste the honey and tea and is not so vinegary. It is the champagne of fermented tea. Tiny bubbles in the wine, make happy make me feel fine.
